depot 205710 205711 is what I used (but I still had it from when I installed it for THJ)
unsure if the steam depot downloading is still possible (it isn't very fast btw, give it a lot of time), but if it does you should be set

Luclin releases in about 10 hours. Let's see if this emu can break my luclin curse ( I always lose interest and quit eq around luclin, same as live back in 2001)
I also managed to solo lady minerilla the silencing hoebag after several upgrades to eldritch rune and remembering that I have like 4 different classes swarm pets, lol. After her the rest (3 pack, 2 pack, vulak) were cake.
Completely cleared NTOV as a solo wizard.

Luclin launch on Ascendant was very smooth. Downtime was around 30 minutes, for anyone that remembers classic that is fucking awesome.
One retard killed the Gfay scion so people couldn't port into Luclin, but a guide saw it happen and quickly solved the issue.
For anyone looking for a guild, Unity has a lot of people that are active, usually some kind of grouping or something going on, in case you want a break from the solo experience or help.
Good times.

What's the TLDR on Ascendant? Most people boxing? Solo possible? Economy booming? Same triple build variety as THJ?
If Perky didn't have that annoying scroll AA system and AA reset I may have stuck along longer. That combined with all of the jungle gear being infinitely better than anything else that drops at the same cost. My remaining gameplay option is basically to buy a full set of jungle gear for very little, and then grind the 2000 as or whatever to actually clear jungle. Appears to completely invalidate all other prior flavors of custom content.

Tldr: Ascendant is a more challenging solo emu...to the point most ppl dont solo they box.
I would say most players 3 box but solo is possible, but difficult.
Comparing to thj, in velious era, everyone could clear the named progression mobs. Almost everyone could clear the big 3, most high end players were killing sleeper, but only a handful could handle bristlebane. Its closer to that.
There's much less theory crafting and build exploration than thj had, you won't keep rolling alts to test new ideas.
You are your base class, period. You are stronger due to the availability of cross class AAs but everyone is after the same AAs, theres no build variety. Warrior monk ranger sk doesn't matter you need all the same AAs. Pet/charm/dc you need all those AAs. Proc damage ok you need all the caster AAs.
Really only int classes gets away with skipping the melee AAs and only wizard really gets to skip the pet AAs, but we also have a scaling dmg bonus based on total AAs from 700 to 5500 which means even if you aren't using them you still gotta get those AAs so your spells hit harder.

So first day of luclin I went through the progression mobs/zones/raids clearing most lower end raids fine despite the gazillion of hp. 3 raids i couldn't do first day:
VT due to keying, not all shard zones were available for dz and they were just camped with warp hacking mqing filth.
Seru. I got seru to 50%, this is just a tank and spank fight here so issue was gearing.
Emp. I got emp ssra to about 40% first attempt. Subsequent attempts wiped at 99% and 65%. Most people have issues with him due to his stun and/or slow. For melee the slow is an issue of limited decurse abilities, for casters its the stun. This is not a tank and spank, the stun is really rng. If you dont resist it every other time you just die, cloth can't go 30 seconds without heals.
Just like NTOV/vulak was my benchmark for velious, Emp is basically my goal for luclin if I can solo him then I'll consider the expansion complete. Fuck VT shit is just aids.
Since release I've upgraded some gear and seru is now on farm, finished my vt key and am working my way through that slog, but emp I am still unable to solo. I did duo him with a 7k AA monk who also was only getting him down to about 40% and we killed him easily in under 3min. So in a way my limitation is dps, I need to just about double my damage so that I can kill him faster, so that I run less risk of getting back to back stunned, but I still run the risk no matter my gear of dying at 99% if he happens to chain stun me.
